Product details

A jar of Mugwort Calming Cream on a pale beige table against a sage-green wall, between sprigs of fresh mugwort

Calm + protect

A bouncy soothing gel-cream with sea-wind mugwort from Geomundo and madecassoside.

Round Lab’s mugwort grows on Geomundo, a quiet island at the southern tip of Korea where clean sea wind blows. Extracted drop by drop with a water-drip method, it joins madecassoside and centella in a springy gel-cream that soothes skin stressed by its surroundings and leaves it moist and comfortable, with no stickiness.
